Hi social media team,
I think this would be a great story for social media, and I thought we had
posted it already, but don’t see it on our Wikipedia Twitter account.
Here’s what I tweeted on my personal account, in case it’s helpful:

Tip of the hat to Andrew Lih for sharing it with us ...
Cheers,
